“People say that the happiest day in their lives is when they got married, you’ll just say Ok, ok…and then you’re there and it truly is! I woke up and I had a big smile on my face this morning cause i knew what was going to be coming” — Wanshun

Wanshun was not the only happiest person that day but also Nikki. After you see this film, you’ll see why.

Whenever we come to film a wedding, it is usually our job to find a way how to make the bride comfortable in front of the camera during the day. Nikki, on the other hand made us feel comfortable during the day. She is just full of energy and full of love! She has a great sense of humor (we follow her blog) and a very sincere and loving person. We’d like you to check out her vows, the most sincerest vows we’ve witnessed.

Nikki is one of a kind, she’s no ordinary girl!

Update:

Just right after watching her film, Nikki sent us an email, text, and facebook message (her facebook wall was flooded with comments too!)

**Nikkis email

*Nikki’s Text Message
“Being able to afford high-end videography is such a privilege. I just wish more people could afford it. You two are such an inspiration to me. You have so much power…to deeply enrich the lives of couples and families through your art.”

Nikki also wrote on our FACEBOOK Wall

Ok, live update you guys, just about after an hour Nikki finally saw their film! and here is what she said:” Speeeeeecccchhhhllleeessss.

Sigmund & Mariane, this is a masterpiece! Truly. We are in awe with your work and while I always thought this was a cliche thing to say, words can not even begin to explain the emotions we are feeling after watching our feature! We are completely blown away by your ability to craft together all the emotional elements of the day….nostalgia, serenity, sentimentality, humor, playfulness, joy, exhilaration, and comfort. Those descriptors just ramble off our brains as we reflect on what we just witnessed. Also, the kind and sincere words you wrote about us were so touching. The reason you produce such phenomenal events is because love, passion, honesty and joy are all the wonderful things that make you two YOU! Your work is truly a reflection of the beauty you two possess as individuals, as artists and as partners in life. It’s very clear that hiring REB6Studios to capture the most important event of our lives was by far the best gift we could have given each other. We’re forever grateful……….

P.S. Nikki and Wanshun – thank you for this wonderful gift! We will be forever grateful!

Check out Shirley and Kevin’s Feature Film here. Our first here at the Monterey Plaza Hotel in Monterey CA. This is where Shirley and Kevin’s favorite hangout spot! So, choosing a location where to get married is very easy. You have got to check this lovely place because it is an awesome place to just date and spend your sunny weekends!

Just right after posting this on our facebook wall, Shirley shared it on her facebook page right away. Her wall was flooded and for us, it was a big deal that not only our couples love it but their friends raved about it too, some and most cried. It makes us want to do more shooting around them because Kevin and Shirley and their entourage were really one of the nicest group to be with. They made us feel like one their friends during that day!

Kevin is not only a good looking guy, he is also super nice! I remember Kevin rushing to hand us a pretty wine glass with their names printed on them. He insisted us to have it because he said we been part of his special day. Shirley was the most beautiful woman that night! You’ll see by the way she walks that she knows how to rock those Christian Louboutins.

Probably by now, Kevin has graduated from his Masters Degree! and Baby Kas is almost here (Congrats Shirley and Kevin) — we are sooo happy for you!

Ok, now about time to actually tell their love story…

Tips: If you’re looking for a wedding cinematographer, one of the things that are important is product consistency. You might be drawn to the samples that you see on their websites but how about the ones that are not on their website? how about the ones delivered on DVDs? hmm…one thing to find out is thru latest reviews, yes latest reviews not a year old review : )  happy wedding planning!

Sigmund and Mariane and to everyone at Reb6,
To be honest I have never written a review of anything in my life, but please know I must share our gratitude with you for the work that you did for our wedding. We could not be happier with the way the video turned out and we will forever be singing your praises to others in need of a videographer. You have captured our vision of the perfect day in your work and we feel so lucky to have it for a lifetime. It is absolutely perfect.We are so glad we found you guys because it is the best thing we did forour big day. Thank you thank you thank you!

The post We are BAPVA Wedding Videographer of the year! appeared first on Blog of REB6Studios | San Francisco Wedding Videographer.

Great things happened in 2012. One of the highlights of our career was winning some wedding film competitions around the US! We were able to share our knowledge and speak at Long Island Videographers Association in New York, where we also won first place under the Preparation Category. Later on that year in November, we also received the 3rd place under Wedding highlights category. We were also picked as the top choice in Bay Areas A-list (Best Wedding Videographer), the Knots Best Pick, and the Wedding Wires Bride’s choice Award! Until now, we look at these plaques and certificates on our desk and it serves as an inspiration!

Though these awards are great, what’s also great is that our couples raved and liked their wedding films after watching it! Check out some great 2012 reviews!

Family, friends, and ofcourse our REB6 couples – YOU ARE our inspiration! We will not be here without you guys! Thank You so much for the support and thank you for being a part of our lives!

If you have bee following us on our Facebook Page, you’ve probably read our thank you but we’re repeating it here on our blog, and if we can thank you every single day, we will!

We are ready than ever, we’re ready to capture great weddings, awesome couples, heartfelt stories, and real emotions.

Ok, if you guys still don’t know what we are talking about, we’ve collected some of our 2012 wedding films here for easy viewing! We look forward to having more of these this year 2013! We are ready!

If you are a bride that have been researching a lot and digging what’s online, you’ll find out that you’ll barely find someone that will put a wedding date or a film and right below it is the clients review. wink.

Since we don’t do a lot of lip service marketing and lure you to book us, it is better to find out from our actual clients we’ve worked with last year 2012.
Again, it is your right to know because you are the ones investing.

So, here are their emails, comments, and reviews right after they received their wedding films.

Jill and Glenn | 4/28/12

My wife and I got married 2 months ago, and all we have to say is WOW!  Reb6Studios is the new standard for Wedding Videography.  I have to be honest, as my wife and I were planning for our wedding, I was debating whether we really need a Videographer.  Deciding on having Reb6 was one of the best decisions we’ve made.

This crew is simply awesome!  I’ve been part of wedding events and photo shoots in the past, but this crew made it so much fun!

The morning of our wedding as I was getting ready, they showed up ready to rock and roll.  They looked around, saw several props, and knew exactly what to do.  There were even a few shots/poses where I was saying to myself, “why am I doing this?”  Later, to find out as we saw the snippets, I then knew.  This crew is soo creative!

We also had a photographer “Alfred and Emma Photography” for the wedding.  It helped that Reb6 and Emma/Alfred worked with each other in past events.  They have really good chemistry with each other.

I have to admit, I was overwhelmed with the amount of attention and poses, but it i can’t express how much fun it was.  They mic’d me up for the procession, so I felt like a celebrity.

We recently got a snippet of our wedding video, that they posted on their blog.  It was simply AMAZING!  My wife and I felt like getting married all over again.

We’re going to have a family/friends Wedding Video Party when we get the full highlights and footage.  That’s how excited everyone was when watching the sample video.  =)

Thanks Reb6 for all your professionalizm, enthusiasm, and Quality work!

Pansy and Lewis | 5/12/12

LOVED LOVED LOVED!!!

Having Reb6Studios as our videographer was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning! Like all couples prepping for a wedding, we searched high and low for the “perfect” cinematographer that would be able to capture who we are and not just straight film the day as it goes by. The second we saw some of Reb6Studios’s work, we knew they were the one. I emailed Sigmund right away and he was so quick in responding back to us – which was much appreciated.

Fast forward to months later, on our wedding day (5-12-12), we finally met Sigmund, Mariane, and the rest of the Reb6 team. They were so great…true professionals! Sigmund even helped carry my 4″ heels when we were walking to different spots on our venue to film because my feet was killing me then. What a trooper!

We knew our highlight video would be great, but when we saw it (just a few days after our wedding day)…we were in awe! It was amazing! It was beyond what we expected. Our family and friends loved it as well. Most of them cried watching it

Photos are wonderful too, but having your wedding day on film gives you another perspective and it’s so worth it! Reb6Studios is the dynamic videography team to capture the essence of one of the biggest days of your lives. They certainly did it for us!

Melissa and Chris | 5/26/12

Ever since we received our video we have been watching it non-stop! Yes, it is that PHENOMENAL (not to mention funny, sentimental and very entertaining) !!! The search for a high quality videographer was stressful and at the point of giving up, we stumbled upon Reb6Studios. After watching countless videos of Reb6, we were thoroughly impressed and immediately contacted them. We didn’t know what to expect, but we were hoping, praying and crossing our fingers that our date was available. We knew that all great vendors get booked fast and having talented videography was a top priority. Best advice to all brides & grooms: BOOK EARLY! Working with Reb6studios was so worth it! Reb6 has creative, memorable, and exceptional work. One of the great things about Reb6 is their A+ customer service! Booking an out of town vendor, felt a bit skeptical at first, but after consulting with them the first time we felt so much more at ease. The Reb6 team is super friendly, professional, prompt and truly incorporate what you want in your wedding video. Reb6 captured wonderful and special moments, which is evident in our feature film. We also had so much fun doing our fun shots at different Las Vegas spots! Our wedding day flew by so fast, we are so happy to have the documentary video to look back on and cherish it with our loved ones. WE LOVE REB6STUDIOS!

Gina and Jeremy | 6/2/12

I have no regrets on booking reb6 a year early to shoot our wedding cause it is definitely all worth it! Brides,you don’t wanna let your date to fill in by others they really booked up fast!! No one can beat the CREATIVITY, KNOWLEDGE and STYLE on capturing the special moment you wanted to keep forever..Reb6 is the only one that does this kind of cinematography/videography in nor cal/bay area..forealz!! 

Sigmund Reboquio, you’re just one of a kind!i can say,you’re the Jason Magbanua of California!Thank you so much REB6!Thank you Sigmund!simply the BEST! ; ) I highly recommend  Reb6!! They do an incredible job!

Vani and Shane | 6/15 and 6/17/12

When we were first looking for videographers, some people told us that the video wasn’t important – that we would never watch our wedding video again. I didn’t think that would be true because I know there are certain emotions you can only capture on tape and that there would be things we wouldn’t get to see or appreciate from our wedding day unless we captured it on video.

I started off by looking at some of the “tried and true” Bay Area cinematographers that had been around for a long time. They had some good work out there but somehow it didn’t feel fresh or genuine. When we stumbled across REB6Studios through an award they had won in their first year, I knew from the first video I saw on their website that they had something incredibly special going on. REB6Studios has only been around for a couple of years but they knew how to put together a STORY. From the editting, to the soundtracks, to the shots – they just got it all right. They captured the genuine emotions, the best moments of the day and they also had that “je ne sais quoi” – the X factor – that innate quality that you can’t learn, you either have it or you don’t. Sigmund and Mariane have it and combined with their passion for what they do results in quality, one in a million type cinematography.

We were blown away by our highlights video – it was almost like being back there on that day, in that moment. It was everything we wanted and much more. Also, our moms both cried watching it for the first time – so I’d said it was a resounding success

Cindy and Reid | 6/16/12

I just got married a few days ago and even though I haven’t seen the highlight or full feature film yet (we can’t wait!), I had to write a review to say how happy and impressed with them I am. Sigmund and his wife Mariane have been great every step of the way and out of the many ups and downs that my now husband and I have had during the 20 month planning process, I have to say that our experience with them was one of the best and most memorable.

When we were searching for videographers, I think I must have contacted 10 different ones, getting pricing, looking at TONS of samples, reading yelp reviews and just getting a general feel for the actual videographer or company through tons of email communication. For my husband and I it was really important that our vendors felt like our friends, because our day was really personal to us and we wanted to be surrounded by great people. We also wanted vendors that got “us” right away and knew what kind of wedding we were going for. I came back to Reb6′s website time and time again, and really could NOT stop watching their videos. It was really apparent that they knew what they were doing when it came to getting the important shots and editing so that everything flowed amazingly well. Pretty much every one of Reb6′s videos made me cry!

So we booked them right away without an in person interview. We also knew that we wanted to do something special like a love story or engagement video, but we weren’t quite sure what. So with feedback from Sigmund and him sending me additional sample videos, we ended up booking a package with a full feature movie of the wedding and a engagement video.

We met with Sigmund and Mariane around four months before the wedding, and told him about our ideas. We decided we wanted to include our bridal party in the engagement video and that this would be the bridal party and our introduction to the wedding. My husband also wanted to do a music video (he thinks he’s a rap star). But beyond that, we didn’t have much. We clicked with them RIGHT away, and Sigmund starting throwing out tons of ideas which also got our creative juices going. You could tell that Sigmund’s was already picturing a story board and different shots. After that meeting, I was already SUPER excited.

Then, two months before the wedding Sigmund rented a kick ass studio in San Jose, and our huge 16 person bridal party (8 andand my husband and I descended en masse with lots of excitement and LOTS of alcohol. Despite our CRAZY ass drunken friends, Sigmund was able to control the chaos and get all the shots he needed, ALL while being great sports and laughing with us (and at us). Pretty much, he and his team are super cool, really nice, and tons of fun. Exactly what we wanted.

Finally…wedding day arrives June 16th. My husband and I had already seen the video since Sigmund sent it to us earlier so we knew how AMAZING it was, but no one else had seen it besides us. Our bridal party was also ITCHING to see it (especially since at least half of them were blacked out during filming from having a little too much fun). I wish I could adequately describe how the guests reacted, but in sum there was a TON of laughs, a lot of tears, and overall, everyone was extremely extremely impressed.

Afterwards and during the rest of the wedding, guest after guest came up to tell us how much they loved the video, how great the editing looked, how fun it looked like our bridal party had making it. We pretty much had a perfect wedding with lots of extra goodies and surprises, and the video was probably the one thing that most of our guests would say was their favorite part.

Some advice to all you brides (and grooms) who aren’t sure where to spend your budget…Reb6 was worth every penny. It made our wedding SO unique and memorable, and to top it off we’ll be getting the film covering our wedding that I know for a fact will be absolutely amazing. I really could go on and on (I really could), but my husband has now said that my essay is too long, so I’ll just end my review with the link to the video…enjoy! http://vimeo.com/43016187.

Update:

Just wanted to write an update now that we’ve gotten our post-wedding package and we’ve seen the feature film.  I was expecting amazing because so far, that is how ALL of their work is…but my husband and I cannot even express how in LOVE and moved we are by the feature film.  

They captured every amazing moment of the day, and Sigmund & Co’s editing prowess is unbelievable.  He weaved in clips from our engagement video with clips from the day and made a movie that was sooo touching and felt so us.  Dare I say that they made the wedding even better than I remember it being?? 

With weddings, you often feel like you are getting ripped off by overpriced vendors.  But with our entire experience with Reb6, I’ve always felt that not only was it worth the money, but that I got a total steal with the quality of what they produce, even down to the box that they sent the movies to us in.  I am very touched at the effort and care that they put into what they made for us, and I’ll forever be thankful that we found them and hired them.

THANKKKKK YOUUUU REB6!!!

Thao and Khoa | 6/23/12

I just wanted to let you know that we were able to watch the video on another playstation. Thank you so much!! It was beautiful!!!!! I can’t wait to show it to my family!!!

Update:

Thank you so much for your AMAZING documentary of our wedding day!! It was a beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to capture it!! You guys totally ROCK!!!!

Lillian and David | 7/7/12

We want to thank you for the amazing videos that you have created for us! It was a great joy for us to finally have received them and be able to see the wedding all over again. Even the packaging was aesthetically pleasing and fun to open. Thank you also for putting in the music that should have been played when Lillian was approaching the altar. We both recall how odd it was that there was a technical difficulty by the choir right at the most critical moment, but you turned a disaster into the moment that it should have been and we were very pleasedWe enjoyed watching every moment of the videos from the priest’s teachings to the guest interviews, details, etc. It was all artistic, creative, and well put together! Thank you!

Cathy and Craig | 7/8/12

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Sigmund and Mariane! We can’t believe how wonderful the video turned out. We are so thankful you could help us re-tell the story of our wedding in this wonderful highlight!

Evonne and Chris | 7/28/12

You guys rock you mean! Thanks Sigmund for our wedding highlights! It really brought me back to the day and I shed more sniffles and tears…again. Thank you for capturing it on camera for us and putting this montage together. I want more more more having seen the 4 mins.  I cant wait till the 10 min film now! 

 We’re gonna keep it under wraps till we’re ready to share.

Update:

Thank you to Sigmund and Mariane and their team for putting together this fab fab feature film that most of my friends here in HK were absolutely in awe of. It was really well done and I must say, it really brought me back to the big day all over again.

Thank you for being such a great team and capturing these important moments in my life.

Daria and Sean | 8/25/12

WOW!!!! We spent months looking for the perfect videographer and after countless reviews and research I knew I wanted REB6. I spent hours going through their videos, crying at almost each one I saw. The way they incorporate both dialogue and emotions into music is unlike anything I have ever seen and I am so thankful to have found them, Sigmund and his team truly love what they do and it’s reflected in their work! You guys rock!!!!

Kristin and Devin | 9/8/12

We wanted to thank you two for being so timely, professional, and personable on our wedding day in Healdsburg last month!! You have been our favorite vendor to work with and we are SO darn excited to see our video! : )

The post Bay Area Wedding Videographer | 2012 Reviews from our REB6 Couples appeared first on Blog of REB6Studios | San Francisco Wedding Videographer.

We will never forget how Daria booked us for her wedding. She submitted an inquiry, we responded right away, then she told us, “We would like to move forward with the wedding highlights package for 08-25-12.” Ok that was quick! thanks to our review section, availability, and faq our clients can make a decision as fast as ever before based on this.

Fast forward to their wedding, we thought Daria looked like Kirsten Dunst, in which from the toasts her sister also mentioned! Daria looked more stunning than Kirsten Dunst when she wore her gown. Her shoes (girls check it out!)…bracelet….whenever we see such details put into her day, best we can do was to show off our creative shots with it.

Side story on the elevator gown shot at the Embassy Suites, Walnut Creek. Sigmund actually got one person upset waiting at the elevator that day because he had to make sure the shot was perfect, ie. multiple takes. That meant holding one of the three elevators. Ok, so Sigmund thought it was ok, but the problem was that the other two elevators were out of service! Sigmund quickly apologized to the guests and apology was accepted.

One of the best moments was Sean and Daria’s personal vows. We couldn’t explain how emotional it was until you actually see it live. Our background music on this wedding film was just an icing on the cake, it was both their vows that brought life to their wedding film. We were so lucky and honored to be able to tell their story through our lenses.
